US EditionUniversity of Illinois Extension SNAP-Ed Programs at Risk of Elimination
- On June 25, governors including Delaware's Matt Meyer held a virtual press conference opposing proposed major SNAP cuts in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill.'
- The bill proposes reducing funding for SNAP by almost $300 billion over eight years and would transfer significant financial responsibilities to states, requiring them to either compensate for the federal reductions or decrease benefit levels.
- Governors and coalitions have cautioned that due to rising costs, uncertain funding levels, and requirements for balanced budgets, states may be forced to reduce participation in SNAP or potentially discontinue the program altogether.
- Meyer stated that the cuts would directly harm thousands of Delaware families relying on SNAP to put food on their tables and urged Congress to protect the program.
- If forced to end SNAP programs, states could see increased hunger, worsening health, job losses in agriculture and retail, and economic decline in rural areas.
